Inasmuch 



as the Commonwealth of Tennessee is now quitting- a past so fraught with 
chivalrous deeds, so full of noble enterprise, and so rich in historic achieve- 
ments, and is stepping- upon the threshold of another century, it is appro- 
priate that its citizenship should rejoice to commemorate its one hundredth anniversary, in a 
manner not only commensurate with its interesting and eventful past, but in anticipation of the 
great possibilities of its future. Of the forty-four sisters, none in the great galaxy of nationality 
has been more conspicuous in love of country, more chivalrous in dark hours of need, more 
untiring- in endeavors, quicker to the demands of patriotism, than the citizenship of the Vol- 
unteer State. From King's Mountain to Appomattox she has shed her blood, as a fitting 
sacrifice upon the altar of her country. In peace or in war, in prosperity or adversity, she has always been 
the same grand, persevering-, untiring, inimitable self. 

To-day, June 1, 1896, Tennessee completes its first hundred years. To celebrate this one hundredth anni- 
versary of the admission of the State into the Union is the purpose of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. 
Tennessee's anniversary is most worthy of celebration. She was the first of the new States carved out of the terri- 
tory previously unclaimed by 



any other State. After the 
original thirteen States, Ver- 
mont and Kentucky were first 
and second, Tennessee com- 
ing- next. But Tennessee 
was made of new territory, a land 
that belonged to the Cherokee 
Indians, thus making it first, as 
some claim, of the real additions 
to the territory of the country. 
Admitted to the Union June 1, 1796, the new State, from 
the very beginning, had the reputation of being peopled 
with fighters. This reputation was kept up throughout 
all wars till the sobriquet was applied to her of the " Vol- 
unteer State." In every war Tennessee has sent out 
more than her proportion of the soldiers who have gone 
out into the battle. Tennesseans have ever been leaders.

This Exposition, formally dedicated to-day, and which will be open to the general public for the six months from May 1, 1897, to 
October 31, 1897, while a State celebration, will not by any means be a purely State Exposition. It will be State, National, and Inter- 
national in character. The strong features of the Exposition proper will come from every part of the world. Tennessee will properly show 
her resources and illustrate her history. That history is a story that cannot be surpassed by the history of any State in the Union. When 
the northwest was settled the pioneer went, followed by the soldier to keep the Indian in subjection. In the settlement of Tennessee the 
pioneer went alone, and by his individual efforts rescued an empire from the savages. The struggle for existence was between the savage 
and the white man, who fought for very life itself. The early settlers were a remarkable people, and their descendants want to particularly

is world-wide. As to agri- 
culture, there is never a year that the people of the State fail to raise enough to take care of themselves till the next crop is raised. There 
are never any total failures in Tennessee crops. Within the borders of the State are raised everything in the vegetable line except tea, 
coffee, and the spices. It has been truly said that a wall could be built around the State and yet the people have everything necessary to 
their health and comfort. 

It is to show the varied resources, which are but faintly outlined above, that the Exposition was proposed. There are a number of 
claimants to the honor of having first suggested the celebration of the centennial anniversary by an Exposition of this character, but it is 
pretty certain that no one preceded Mr. Douglas Anderson, who suggested it in a communication to the Evening Herald, of Nashville, in 
August, 1891. He also sent the article to four or five other papers in the State, and they printed it. A little later, in October, Laps D.

McCord wrote an article on the subject, which was 
printed in 77z£ American, of Nashville. At the 
time nothing was done, but in the summer of 1893 
Capt. W. C. Smith took the matter up and inaugu- 
rated the movement which has grown to the present 
certainty of a great Exposition. 

As the result of a formal proposition to hold 
the Exposition, that proposition appearing in the 
Nashville papers of January 14, 1894, many meet- 
ings were held in Nashville, and finally a Centennial 
Exposition convention convened June 19, 1894, 
which formally launched the enterprise. This con- 
vention was well attended by the prominent men of 
the State, and the programme there mapped out 
will be substantially followed to the end. 

The Exposition has been divided into sixteen 
departments, each with a chief and a strong work- commerce. 

ing committee of from five to fifteen members, between whom the work is divided, so that no committeeman will be responsible for more 
than one branch of the committee work. All these committees are doing the best of work in organizing for the Exposition. 

The plans so far decided call for about twenty main buildings to be grouped around the lake, the architectural center of the grounds 
being the exact reproduction of the Athenian Parthenon, standing on an elevated plateau. In the main Exposition buildings Tennessee 
will present in classified form, under appropriate departments, the evidences of her resourceful mines, her fertile fields, and numerous man- 
ufactures. She invites every other State and foreign land to come and place its exhibits side by side with hers, and in the spirit of true 
Southern hospitality she will make no charge for the space occupied. The management to which has been intrusted the details of the fair 
desire only that the most unique and the most complete Exposition possible may result from their labors. For Tennessee's part more than 
5,000 prominent men and women, scattered all over the State, are working earnestly and patriotically, and without salary, preparing ex- 
hibits. Tennessee is in earnest, and she will prove again by her Exposition the fitness of the term "Volunteer State." 

Of the buildings, seven are practically complete and speak for themselves. The pictures and brief descriptions of the buildings are 
found elsewhere in this volume. In the Auditorium, with its large and beautiful Assembly Hall, will be held the man)' meetings and in- 
door exercises incident to the Centennial. The Road Congress, Woman's Congress, Commercial Congress, and others are already decided 
on. There will be valuable historical lectures also, and an immense amount of intellectual recreation will thus be furnished. The build- 
ing is fitly dedicated by using it for the exercises connected with these opening days. 

The beautification of the grounds is one point which the management is united on making most marked. Their ambition is to make 
it really the most beautiful Exposition in the world, and although the opening is a year off, the progress can be seen by the visitor to be 
most satisfactory. Wherever the walks intersect there are clumps of evergreens and blossoming trees and shrubs, and already they have 
begun to make a splendid growth. Groups of giant cactus are growing as if they stood on the arid plains of the southwest, whence they

were brought to help make this Exposition beautiful. Along- one avenue, on both sides, stretch long lines of clematis, which will be in 
full bloom during- the time of the Exposition next year. Beds of roses, containing thousands of these attractive plants, even now are bloom- 
ing and perfuming the surrounding air. Beds of choice flowers are scattered here and there, just by way of illustrating what can be done 
and what will be done before the opening of the Exposition proper. The Horticulture Building will be stocked with the choicest and most 
attractive specimens of the flowers of the South which can be had, for the delectation of the visitors to Nashville during the spring, summer, 
and fall of next year. The grounds around the Parthenon will receive particular attention, and one Nashville florist has already bespoken 
this part of the grounds in which to make a display of his best and rarest flowers. Beyond the beautiful bridge fronting the Transporta- 
tion Building a portion of Lake Watauga is cut off for the purpose of making a special display of aquatic plants, including water lilies, 
which it is intended shall be the greatest collection of such plants ever seen in any Exposition. The present appearance of the grounds 
but faintly tells of all that is in contemplation for the coming year. 

A unique feature of the Exposition will be the buildings of the fraternal orders and societies. The Knights of Pythias have already 
arranged for building their headquarters on the ground, and the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo has also made a like preparation. This 
building will be in the shape of a huge cat sixty feet high, with tail in air like the well-known black cat of the order. Up the front leg of 
the big cat will run an elevator, and in the head of the beast will be an observatory. The Improved Order of Red Men will also have a 
headquarters building on the ground in the shape of a gigantic wigwam. The Masonic fraternity will have headquarters, and the last 
meeting of the Grand Lodge of the United Order of the Golden Cross appropriated $1,000 for the same purpose. It is expected every prom- 
inent society in the State will have a local building on the grounds, where the members of the order may gather. 

Not only will the secret societies be represented, but probably every church within the borders of the State will have some sort of 
gathering place for people of that faith. The religious history of Tennessee is no small part of the history of the State, and this feature 
will be made prominent. The three conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South — Tennessee, Holston, and Memphis conferences — 
have appointed committees to take the matter of a full display into consideration, and this joint committee is at work already, preparing an 
exhibit of the history of this church in the State. 
The Baptists of the State will also have a building 
and a display relating to the eventful history of that 
church in the State. The Cumberland Presbyterian 
Church was organized in Tennessee, and the old 
building in Dickson County, where it was formed, 
is still standing. The building, which is a log 
church, will either be removed to Nashville, or, if 
this cannot be done, will be exactly reproduced for 
the headquarters of this denomination. These 
churches have alreadj^ acted, and the others have 
the matter in contemplation. In this way a com- 
plete display of the important religious history of 
the State will be secured. 

There is a movement on foot to have a com- agriculture.

plete display of the fishes of the State at the Exposition. J. W. Peden, Fish Commissioner, of Giles County, wants to show the fishes of 
Tennessee, and those which can be profitably raised here. He has designs drawn up for the erection of the building - , and even the plans 
and specifications are about ready. He emphasizes the importance of the fish industry as a source of food supply, and says our food re- 
sources are so vast and varied that we are apt to regard them as almost inexhaustible, and to be less disposed to economy in their use; more 
likely to indulge in their abuse than if they were limited. Mr. Peden has a plan for placing stock in the various counties to erect the State 
Fishery Building. 

One thing that will be gladly read by prospective visitors to the Exposition is that the walks will all be of asphalt. The buildings 
will be tall and imposing, but in all except one the exhibits will be confined to a single floor, thus giving all exhibitors an equal show, and 
saving the labor of climbing steps.

the Exposition proper will 
$2,000,000. Besides this, 
ville, other States than 



Tennessee, and foreign countries, will erect buildings at considerable expense to represent them, and many counties of Tennessee will put 
up special edifices. The site of the Exposition was formerly a driving park, West Side Park, easy of access, and of extent sufficient to ac- 
commodate the largest Exposition that has ever been undertaken. One point about the grounds, however, is that the buildings will not 
be scattered about in as wide an extent as in many cases. They will be grouped and rendered easy to reach without the great waste of 
walking that usually attends great expositions. Though there are two hundred acres available, the buildings will be grouped in and 
around the oval formerly marking the site of the race track, the rest of the grounds being used for park, lakes, and concessions. 

The group of amusements will be known as Vanity Fair. The attractions will extend around the base of the hill, there being three 
avenues instead of one long, straight street, as at Chicago, or of a single winding avenue, as at Atlanta. There is a central court of tri- 
angular shape, the sides of which are over three hundred feet in length, and in this there will be daily parades of the ponies, dogs, and

animals which constitute this class of shows. About 
the triangle will be grouped shows of this class. 

Tennessee is the first State of the American 
Union to celebrate on a large scale its one hundredth 
birthday, and in so doing it deserves the cordial sup- 
port of its sister Commonwealths and of the whole 
people. The demonstration is not planned as a money 
making enterprise, but for the higher and nobler end 
of marking with proper dignity and display the end 
of a century of vigorous history; and only such things 
will be considered by the management as distinctly 
tend toward the holding before the world, for a period 
of six months, from a material standpoint, the most 
complete array of attractive features, and promoting, 
from a spiritual point of view, the most patriotic feel- 
ings. 

The management is using every endeavor to bring together the most unique and attractive things procurable, and the best exhibits 
in each class are solicited. No charge will be made for a reasonable amount of space for exhibits in any of the buildings, but each exhibit 
offered will be subject, for acceptance or rejection, to the Committee on Classification, composed of the heads of departments, with the ap- 
proval of the Director General. In order that the exhibit may be in place on the opening day, the exhibitor will be required to make a deposit 
in cash with the management when the exhibit is accepted. An agreement will then be entered into, under which the management prom- 
ises to have its buildings ready January 1, 1897, and the exhibitor agrees to forfeit the deposit if the exhibit is not in place and ready for 
inspection on May 1, 1897. The sliding scale for these deposits will be: For the first 100 square feet, 50 cents per square foot; for the 
second space, that is, 100 to 500 feet, 35 cents; 25 cents will be collected for each square foot when more than 500 feet are required. Ex- 
emptions: Horticulture, forestry, and any exhibits not made for profit. The deposits will be held as a sacred fund, and returned, in cash, 
to exhibitors whose exhibits are complete on the opening day. All questions of delay in getting exhibits in place, arising from unavoid- 
able causes, will be decided by the Committee on Classification, presided over by the Director General. Exhibit and concession application 
blanks will be furnished, on request, by the Director General, E. C. Lewis, Nashville, Tenn. 

Some brief description of the buildings already in course of erection will be of interest. 

The Auditorium, where all congresses, conventions, and big meetings will be held, is colonial in form and Ionic in treatment. Four 
porticoes, facing the different points of the compass, give the floor plan a shape resembling a short cross, except for the circular colonnades 
connecting at each corner, forming a desirable promenade, and restful place for weary sight-seers, while the roof gives a beautiful balcony, 
which not only adds to the charm of the design, but, in addition, affords a vantage point for the viewing of displays and pageants. At 
each point of the cross a projecting gable is supported by four massive Ionic columns 30 feet high, and resting on a pedestal of eight feet. 
Above this, right at the center of the cross, and at the main roof line, another balcony, 60 by 60 feet, accessible by wide, easy staircases, 
forms a still higher vantage point, and from the center rises a tower, the prominent feature, its height and form affording ample oppor-

tunity for search-lights, and giving- a beautiful view of the Exposition grounds and city. Its form is square, 30 by 30 feet, and rising to a 
height of 136 feet from the floor line. The exterior is faced with staff. The following are the dimensions: Interior, 290x110; main wall, 
48 feet high; apex of roof, 62 feet; tower, 30x30x136 feet high, and the colonnades ranging from 16 to 24 feet wide, with a height of 26 
feet. Mr. George W. Thompson is the architect. 

The first edifice completed on the grounds of the Exposition was the Administration Building, where the offices of the Director of 
Works and the Engineers are now located. The structure has wide verandas, from which perhaps the most satisfactory view of the park 
can be had, and as the Grand Band Stand is located just in front, they are destined to great popularity during the Exposition. The feature 
of the building is the costly oiled hardwood finish of the interior. Handsome mantels attract the artistic eye, and the furnishings are 
arranged for comfort at all seasons. 

The Parthenon, the chief glory of all architecture, designed and completed under the direction of Phidias and Ictinus in the time of 
Pericles, at Athens, is being reproduced exactly, as to outward form and color, on a high terrace in the center of the park. The building 
will be entirely fire-proof, with stone foundation, concrete floor, brick walls, and steel roof, the exterior being ornamented in molded staff, 
in imitation of the original. Mr. Wm. C. Smith is the architect of the reproduction. Visitors June 1 will find the exquisite edifice com- 
plete, except for the delicate carvings on the pediments and the interior decorations. A statue of Pallas Athene, now being made in 
Paris, which, with its pedestal, will be forty-three feet high, will stand a short distance in front of the Parthenon; and a little further a 
true reproduction of the Rialto at Venice will span an arm of the principal lake. 

The Commerce Building, where exhibits representing the Liberal Arts will be housed, will be the largest of the group, measuring 
591 by 256 feet. The interior is divided into aisles and a nave, the former being 25 feet and the latter 45 feet high. The central pavilion 
is two stories in height, the second story forming a 
gallery on either side 141 by 160 feet, overlooking 
the nave, and is reached by four broad stairways, 
one at each end of the four corners. The general 
style is based on the Corinthian and Ionic orders of 
the Graeco-Roman. Over the central pavilion a dome 
rises to a height of 175 feet, into which elevators 
will be run, in order that the visitor may enjoy the 
fine view afforded there of the Exposition beneath, 
and the city in the distance. Messrs. B. J. Hodge 
& Bro. are the architects. 

The Hermitage, twelve miles from Nashville, 
the home of Andrew Jackson when he was President 
of the United States, will be recognized by those 
who are familiar with it, in the design of this edi- 
fice; but the artist-architect, Mrs. SaraWard-Conley, 
has idealized the Hermitage by adding to its colonial 
style suggestions of the Greek school of architecture, WOMAN'S.

and produced a strikingly beautiful effect. The central part of the interior is a large rotunda, with a grand staircase leading up right and 
left at the rear, and the remainder of the building is divided into handsome apartments for classified exhibits. The second story of the left 
wing, as one enters, is a large assembly hall, in which numerous congresses of women will meet during the Exposition. The workmanship 
on the staff columns, the frieze and the figures, is of the highest order. The building has been finished, and is now the most attractive 
feature of the grounds. 

The Roman-Doric order of architecture, combining strength and beauty, was used as the motif "for the Machinery Building, of which 
Messrs. Gibel & Gaebler are the designers. The 

dimensions are 526 by 124 feet, with a boiler-room 

162 by 72 feet. The ar- rangement of the floor 

leads to three main en- x$r> trances, marked by impos- 

ing porticoes, with six gte^**''*' v columns each, crowned by

simplicity. A most pleas- ing effect has been ob-

in the grouping of the masses and proper proportioning. All structural ornamentation is in the most refined classic style, brought into 
strong relief by the wall surface, to which it lends beauty in charm in return. The building has a frontage of 400 feet, and a depth of 12o 
feet. To lovers of dignity, coupled with refined simplicity in architectural design, it will afford a pleasing object with its air of grandeur 
and repose, so often lacking in a pretentious edifice. 

The structure wherein will be displayed the products of the field will be considered by many people the most beautiful feature of the 
Exposition. The building was designed by Mr. Jul. G. Zwicker, and is in the Renaissance style of architecture. The dimensions are 300 



Gray's "Never-Failing" Pile Ointment. 

It is Sold Under a Most Positive Guarantee to Give Satisfaction or the Money will be Cheerfully Refunded 
by the Druggist or Merchant Selling It. 

For Piles in EVERY FORM, the efficacy of the "NEVER-FAILING" PILE OINTMENT has been 
fully tested with the most wonderful success, curing cases of over thirty years' standing, which 
had resisted the knife and all other means. Having been tried in hundreds of cases, the proprietors 
can truthfully say that they have yet to hear of a single instance where the person using it was not 
permanently cured or greatly benefited. 




No one should ever submit to a surgical operation, under any circumstanoes, until this Oint- 
ment has been given a fair trial, for in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the knife may be dis- 
pensed with. 

In some cases of Internal Piles, the ulceration is situated so far up the rectum as to render a 
proper application of the Ointment difficult and unsatisfactory, and in such instances we especially 
recommend the use of the 

PILE OINTMENT SYRINGE, 

or Snppositor, as we have seen this instrument tested in every particular, and it has never failed to 
meet every requirement. Should you be unable to obtain the Suppositor from your druggist, we 
can supply the same for 60 cents, post-paid, which being made of hard rubber, will last a life-time, 
a cut of which we herewith present.

DR. W/. F. GRAY «fe CO., 

Northeast Cor. Broad and Summer Streets, Nashville, Tenn. 



r\( 



JUDGE THOMAS H. MALONE, Chancellor of this division and Dean of the Law Department 
of Vanderbilt University, says: " I have known Mr. R. W. Jennings, of the Jennings Business 
College, for about thirty-five years. Both as a practicing lawyer and as Chancellor I have had 
occasion to examine critically his statements of complicated transactions and his expositions 
of erroneous bookkeeping. I always rely with great confidence upon his expert opinions, and 
believe that he. as an expert, has no superior among us. I think he is eminently qualified 
to be at the head of a business college, and his success proves it." 

CAPT. T. M. STEGER, of the law firm of Steger, Washington & Jackson, and President of 
the Nashville Street Railway, says: " Prof. R. W. Jennings, the founder of Jennings Business 
College, is a man who has, and is justly entitled to, public confidence. He is a man who carries 
into his business technical learning and practical experience. I sent my two sons to his col. 
lege, and I commend him both as a teacher and a practical accountant." 

JUDGE E. H. EAST, ex-Chancellor, Nashville, say: " I have known Prof. R. W. Jennings, 
Principal of Jennings Business College, for many years, both personally and professionally, 
and know he has a large and varied experience in all matters pertaining to bookkeeping, 
partnership disputes, detecting forged signatures, etc. I have consulted with him and had 
him employed by my clients in the settlements of the books of complicated partnership ac- 
counts, He is an expert in the comparison of handwriting, detecting the genuine from the 
spurious. His Business College stands at the head, and in its management he is now mainly 
engaged. 

JUDGE H. H. LURTON, who resigned the position of Chief Justice of Tennessee to accept 
that of United States Circuit Judge, says: " Prof. R. W. Jennings possesses great skill in all 
matters pertaining to the science of accounts, and as an educator in commercial matters he has no 
superior. When upon the Supreme Court of Tennessee I had occasion more than once to pass 
upon his work as an expert in unraveling complicated accounts, and found him clear and satis- 
factory," Judge Lurton sent his son to this college. 

S. J. KEITH, President Fourth National Bank (Capital and Surplus, $1,400,000), Nashville, says: 
I can state with much pleasure that I have known Mr. R. W. Jennings for more than twenty 
years, both as a wholesale merchant and afterwards as the Principal of Jennings Business Col- 
lege, and that I esteem him as a gentleman and a business man, and believe the instruction 
given the students in his college will be of great benefit to thein. The Fourth National Bank 
now has in its employ eight of the graduates of that school. 

GENERAL W. H. JACKSON, the distinguished proprietor of Belle Meade, says: "Having 
known Mr. R. W. Jennings for a great many years, and being satisfied as to his business 
methods and efficiency as an educator of youth, to prepare them for practical business. I sent 
my son to his college, and it affords me pleasure to commend him to all who are contemplating 
the sending of their sons and daughters to such a school."

by 200 feet, and the central dome, the feature of the 
desig-n, rises to a height of 100 feet, while six minor 
domes balance and lend charm to the whole. The four 
entrances lead under triumphal arches, embellished 
with carving and surmounted by statuary. The domes 
will be partly constructed of opaque glass, which, with 
the plentiful supply of windows, will pour a flood of 
light on the exhibits. The location of the building on 
the grounds is such that its classical lines and fine 
proportions will be seen to splendid advantag-e from 
all directions. 

Of all the interests centering- in the Tennessee 
Centennial, that of the children is not to be considered 
the least. When the idea of celebrating the end of 
the State's first century in history was first agitated, 
the children began work under systematic leaders, and 
they have raised by their own efforts the money with 
which their building will be erected. The design 
selected is pretty, and the interior arrangements will 
be especially suited to the uses for which the building- 
is intended. Only such things as will amuse and in- 
struct little ones will be admitted. In the rear of the 
building will be a beautiful grass-carpeted and shaded 
plot of ground, containing fifty deer, and in front there 
will stand a tall tower with silver chimes in the belfry, bought, also, with money raised by children. 

Everything- looks bright for the Exposition, and there is every indication that the gates will open May 1, 1897, on the grandest Ex- 
position in the history of the South, as well as the most beautiful in the history of the world. That which you see about you to-day is the 
result of the first six months of work. There is a year left to get the full Exposition in shape. Imagine, if you can, what it will be when 
twelve more months have passed; when the progressive counties of the State have their buildings and exhibits here; when half the States 
of the Union have their buildings and exhibits installed; when South America, Central America, Mexico, the countries of Europe, the 
nascent nations of Africa, and the ancient civilization of Asia, together with all the islands of the sea, pour their treasures of industry 
and art into the scores of beautiful buildings created to receive them; when the people of all lands come with their strange wares and curi- 
ous customs, their arts and industries, and exemplify them for this great Fair. It will be a year to mark the brightest page in Tennessee's 
history. And when the wonderful resources of the State are seen, untold millions of capital flowing in shall make every uncultivated acre 
blossom as the rose; shall develop the waiting wealth below the surface of the earth, and bring on an era of prosperity that shall be felt 
when another hundred years shall have passed away. Will your county or your interests have any part in this Exposition?

A true Southern welcome awaits you here. As an evidence that no sectional prejudice is entertained 
in this vicinity against "you'ns," l e * us present the following t Messrs, J, W, Thomas & Son, corner Cedar and 
Cherry Streets, Nashville, Tenn,, the largest roasters of Coffee, the largest jobbers of Tea, the largest grinders 
of Spices, the largest manufacturers of Baking Powder in the Volunteer State, were born north of Mason & 
Dixon's line. The senior member, Mr, J, W, Thomas, was a Captain in the Federal Army, a pronounced 
Republican in politics, During fifteen years residence, since the war, in the capital city of Tennessee he has |[||p 
been accorded warm-hearted, generous treatment, 

Mr, Wm, D, Thomas, his son, the present manager of the above wholesale establishment, upon coming 
South to live, connected himself with the National Guard State of Tennessee, composed of the younger gen/- 
eration, grown up since '61-'65, Mr, Thomas filled all the positions within the gift of these young gentlemen 
until he became next to the highest elected official in the organization. 

It is worthy of note that as Colonel with his first regiment he conducted the military exercises at the 
burial of General E, Kirby Smith, the last full General on either the Federal or Confederate side — truly the 
"wind up" of the late unpleasantness, Of all present on this occasion, Mr, Thomas was likely the only person 
whose people were not members of the Southern army, Surely the best of feeling exists here now, and you 
will be genuinely welcomed as visitors, and probably residents, if you will but come to our Exposition in '97, 

Merchants are especially invited to write or call on

sumers where the product of Tennessee mills 
is known, and Nashville flour has a wide and 
enviable reputation throughout this country, 
and in foreign markets. The accompanying 
cuts represent the three plants of the Cumber- 
land Mills, the leading milling company of 
Nashville, which has a capital of $400,000, and 
a daily capacity of 3,000 barrels, making it the 

largest milling company south of the Ohio river. By exercising great care in the 
selection of wheat, their various grades of flour are made to stand at the head, and 
are unsurpassed in uniform excellence. This company invites correspondence with 
buyers, calling special attention to their four leading grades, which are as follows: 
Fancy Patent. This grade, the very best made, is offered under the brands of 
" Canopy," " Granona," "Lame Miller," and "Harvest King." Their Standard 
Patent, a strong flour, and especially adapted for baker's use and bread making, 
can be had under the brands "Proserpine," "White Swan," and "Golden Fleece."

'HIEF among the industries of Nashville is the milling of flour, the 
combined capacity of the several mills located here making Nashville 
the second largest milling point in the United States for winter wheat 
flour. Some conception of the magnitude of this business is gained from the 
statement that when operated to their full capacity, Nashville's mills annually 
produce over one and one-half million barrels of flour, and would consume 
over seven million bushels of wheat, and, in addition thereto, a large amount 
of corn in the manufacture of corn products. The item of labor in actual 
wages paid to the mill employees aggregate $120,000, and the cost of the pack- 
ages, barrels and sacks required 
to put this product in shipping 
order, would not be less than 
$300,000. For steam purposes 
alone the coal consumed would 
represent $40,000. The supe- 
rior quality of flour produced 
from Tennessee wheat is recog-
